General Information The Republic of Kenya is located on the Eastern coast of Africa, on the Equator. It is a land of striking landscapes, ranging from snow-capped Mount Kenya to rich farmlands, barren deserts and tropical beaches. It borders Somalia, Ethiopia and South Sudan to the North, Uganda to the West, Tanzania to the South, and the Indian Ocean to the East. Kenya's capital city is Nairobi. Other major cities are Mombasa, the main port on the Indian Ocean, and Kisumu on Lake Victoria. Kenya is one of the world’s most popular tourism destinations attracting millions of tourists over the past years. The country is endowed with attractive tourist sites, rich culture, striking geographical diversity and landscapes ranging from beautiful beaches, to animal parks and archaeological sites. 2.

Health A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for travelers coming from countries where yellow fever may occur. Immunization against yellow fever is recommended for travelers from other countries. The International travel, health and vaccination requirements for travel to Kenya can be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions web site at the following link: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/kenya?s_cid=ncezid- dgmq- travel-single-001 Malaria risk exists throughout the year in Kenya; though there is little risk in Nairobi and the highlands, therefore it is advised that you take precautions while travelling out of these areas. Any medical costs incurred during their stay in Kenya shall be borne by the meeting participants; it is therefore strongly recommended that the participants arrange for their own health insurance. (See IV3. Emergency Numbers which include numbers of nearby hospitals). Kenya has temporarily lifted restrictions from previously Ebola stricken countries. However, visitors entering Kenya may still be required to undergo screening upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. 6. Security United Nations Environment Programme, United Nations Office at Nairobi and the Kenyan Authorities are working closely together to ensure that all precautionary measures are taken for delegates' safety and security. However, participants are personally responsible for their movements. If you intend to stay in a hotel, you 3 are advised to choose accommodation from the recommended list of hotels available at: https://dcs.unon.org/sites/default/files/Hotel%20&%20Guest%20House%20Rat es%2020 16.pdf For your own safety, kindly read and follow the below listed tips: Avoid crowded areas such as malls When walking, keep to the main roads and avoid shortcuts down back alleys and the like. However, where possible, take a taxi rather than walking Never walk at night in the city centre even for a short distance – always take a taxi Be wary of people loitering outside hotels Ignore street children and people coming up to you in the streets with hard-luck tales. They may be pickpockets or part of an elaborate fraud. The best thing to do is just to walk on and ignore them Do not carry large sums of money. Avoid carrying credit cards, wearing expensive jewelry, watches or the like when walking in the streets. Do not accept food and drinks from strangers; visitors have been known to be drugged and then robbed. 7. Weather June tends to be cool in Nairobi. The average temperature is 21.5ºC but can drop to 11ºC, especially at night. It would be advisable to carry a light jacket and an umbrella. Current weather conditions in the area can be found at: http://worldweather.wmo.int/en/city.html?cityId=251 8. Electricity Electrical sockets in Kenya supply electricity at 220 - 240 Volts, 50 Hertz. Kindly note that Kenya uses the 13A 3 pin wall switch socket outlet ("Type G"/ British BS-1363). 9. Official Languages The official languages of the Republic of Kenya are English and Kiswahili. 10. Money and Banking Currency and exchange rates The official currency of the Republic of Kenya is the Kenya Shilling (KES). The current exchange rates are: 1 US Dollar = KES 102.00 1 EUR = KES 110.00 Foreign currency can be changed at JKIA, banks, foreign currency Exchange Bureaus or hotels. Banks in major centres are open from 0900 to 1600 hrs. on Monday to Friday and from 0900 to 1200hrs. on Saturdays. 4 The following currency exchange places are available near or at the UN compound in Nairobi. Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB)can be found on the ground floor in the UN complex, next to the Delegates Lounge. Standard Chartered Bank is also available in the complex, located opposite KCB Bank Emerald Garden from the main gate of the United Nations, cross the road, turn right and walk about 200m. You will find the building to your left. Warwick Center from the main gate of the United Nations, cross the road, turn left and walk about 100 m. The building will be to your right. ATMs ATMs are available country wide with 24-hour access. Within the UNON complex, there are two ATMs on the lower concourse; one next to the Kenya Commercial Bank and the other near the UNFCU (United Nations Federal Credit Union).

Travelers’ cheques Travelers’ cheques are accepted at most banks, foreign currency exchange bureaus, hotels and stores in major malls. Tipping is appreciated; however, most hotels and restaurants do include a service charge. III. UNON COMPLEX 1.

  • Health and Ageing in Nairobi's Informal Settlements-Evidence From
    Wilunda et al. BMC Public Health (2015) 15:1231 DOI 10.1186/s12889-015-2556-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Health and ageing in Nairobi’s informal settlements-evidence from the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH): a cross sectional study Boniface Wilunda1*, Nawi Ng2,3 and Jennifer Stewart Williams2 Abstract Background: Much of the focus on population ageing has been in high-income counties. Relatively less attention is given to the world’s poorest region, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where children and adolescents still comprise a high proportion of the population. Yet the number of adults aged 60-plus in SSA is already twice that in northern Europe. In addition, SSA is experiencing massive rural to urban migration with consequent expansion of informal urban settlements, or slums, whose health problems are usually unrecognised and not addressed. This study aims to improve understanding of functional health and well-being in older adult slum-dwellers in Nairobi (Kenya). Methods: The study sample comprised men and women, aged 50 years and over, living in Korogocho and Viwandani, Nairobi, Kenya (n = 1,878). Data from the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health (INDEPTH) and the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE Wave 1) were analysed. The prevalence of poor self-reported quality of life (QoL) and difficulties in domain-specific function is estimated by age and sex. Logistic regression investigates associations between difficulties in the domains of function and poor QoL, adjusting for age, sex and socio-demographic factors.

  • TERRORISM THREAT in the COUNTRY A) Security Survey
    TERRORISM THREAT IN THE COUNTRY a) Security Survey In 2011, the threat of terrorism in the country rose up drastically largely from the threat we recorded and the attacks we began experiencing. Consequently, the service initiated a security survey on key installations and shopping malls. The objective was to assess their vulnerability to terrorist attacks and make recommendations on areas to improve on. The survey was conducted and the report submitted to the Police, Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Tourism. Relevant institutions and malls were also handed over the report. Subsequent security surveys have continued to be conducted. As with regard to the Westgate Mall which was also surveyed, the following observations and recommendations were made as per the attached matrix. Situation Report for 21.09.12 - Serial No.184/2012 Two suspected Al Shabaab terrorists of Somali origin entered South Sudan through Djibouti, Eritrea and Sudan and are suspected to be currently in Uganda waiting to cross into Kenya through either Busia or Malaba border points. They are being assisted by Teskalem Teklemaryan, an Eritrean Engineer with residences in Uganda and South Sudan. The duo have purchased 1 GPMG; 4 hand grenades; 1 bullet belt; 5 AK 47 Assault Rifles; unknown number of bullet proof jackets from Joseph Lomoro, an SPLA Officer, and some maps of Nairobi city, indicating that their destination is Nairobi. Maalim Khalid, aka Maalim Kenya, a Kenyan explosives and martial arts expert, has been identified as the architect of current terrorist attacks in the country. He is associated with attacks at Machakos Country Bus, Assanands House in Nairobi and Bellavista Club in Mombasa.
